I never got one, never played around with one, but I don't think I'm missing
much.
Eh, I dunno.. I tend to think it was my 'first' real computer.
You could learn BASIC programming on the thing.
(I seem to recall writing my first game on one. Programmed the thing,
debugged the thing, played it once, and then turned the machine off. -
No idea why I didn't try to at least save the code on the cassette
tape.)
Wouldn't mind finding one w/ copies of MicroSurgeon, and Pirate
Adventure again for nostalgia purposes....
